Scratch in the paint...

[Carbon]

Bugger......

So I went searching for a stone or something that was stuck in my tyre as I was getting that really annoying ticking sound when driving.

I jacked up the rear and found the culprite but figured that while I had the jack out I would check the front as that's where I thought the offending noise was coming from. As couldn't be assed going to the trouble of getting the whell out of mine just to get at the jack, I used the jack from my wife's Outlander as it is easily accessible. What a mistake. The 'pole' that twists the jack to make it rise has an end on it like a massive flathead screwdriver. So imagine what happened when it slipped in my hands.

I tried a bit of Scratch X on it but it is well too deep. Corey suggested that when I do my new stripes I continue it to the wheel but the problem is that the stripe is already cut. Do Meguiars make a colour polish that may cover it up?

take it to your panel beater mate
should not cost to much and will be fixed right
anything else and you will always look at it when you are looking at the car

i got a stone chip and dent when when my car was a week old. they fixed it while it was in for a service at motorama, cost $400 and i picked the car up in afternoon just like a normal service
they did a perfect job as i can not see it at all and belive me i have looked for it
